Regulation and sales

If you are thinking of stepping into the e-cig/vaping e-commerce industry you might be more than a little anxious, and understandably so. The industry’s future is currently under question as rules from the FDA draw closer to fully taking effect. The regulation of the process and standards of manufacturing, distributing and marketing these products will make supply lower as businesses decide whether it’s worth the cost. There is an effort to grandfather products swept up in this regulation to only those on the market after Aug. 8th, 2016. This would help many products currently for sale, according to this article, but it is by no means a sure thing.

Safer than cigarettes

For many years there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the e-cig phenomenon due to concerns over health and safety. Many claim that the media and the regulators simply don’t know the facts behind them, and because of the FDA’s apparent weighting of certain studies and information over others, the government response has been deemed oppressive by many in the industry. Studies have shown that e-cigs and vaping is up to 95% less harmful than smoking conventional cigarettes, at least according to this report. There is information pouring in that supports the idea that vaping is much less harmfulthan smoking cigarettes. For these reasons and to protect the businesses affected in there is a lot of effort going towards getting these regulations changed in Washington.
